Random Walks (RWs) have been considered for information dissemination in large scale, dynamic and unstructured environments, as they are scalable, robust to topology changes and d...
We present an improved average case analysis of the maximum cardinality matching problem. We show that in a bipartite or general random graph on n vertices, with high probability ...
We study the generalization of covering problems to partial covering. Here we wish to cover only a desired number of elements, rather than covering all elements as in standard cov...
We consider the problem of maintaining a large matching and a small vertex cover in a dynamically changing graph. Each update to the graph is either an edge deletion or an edge in...
If m 2 is constant and 0 r log log n for a small positive constant , then whp a random walk with look-ahead r on a scale-free graph G = G(m, n) has cover time CG(r) (2/(mr-1(...
